Bernadette
The property was covered in unsightly scaffolding. The outside area was unkempt, tables not wiped down, unemptied ashtrays. The Receptionist wasn’t friendly. I know the check-in is 4pm, we got to the property at 2.45, and despite the place being deserted, she would not check un in until 4. That’s just pedantic.
Angela
Would definitely recommend this hotel to others and when needed will book another stay.

We do enjoy staying at this lovely, peaceful hotel. Just being able to walk in the grounds and visit the Abbey - but the hotel too is full of warmth and welcome. We love it….

Waited nearly an hour, far too long, for dinner to be cooked and ended up with no dinner. We were told that there was a problem in the kitchen....
Breakfast though was fantastic.
Overall very good experience. Clean rooms and friendly staff. The place is beautiful.

Stunning location within the grounds of Buckfastleigh Abbey. Complete tranquility with the exception of the bells of the Abbey ringing.
The hotel restaurant was superb.
Accessibility for wheelchair users was exceptional.
All staff were kind and courteous - nothing was too much trouble!
Smooth surfaces (including the car park) made wheelchair use easy and comfortable.
Our room was spacious and comfortable, and well equipped.
Cannot think of any negatives, and well most definitely be returning in the future.

The property is lovely. Clean, spacious rooms. Pretty setting. Lovely decor throughout. Very nice breakfast with lots of variety. Staff very friendly and accommodating to requests. Did run out of some items at breakfast on the last day (yoghurt, pastries) as a large group came to eat together, but that was the only negative point.

This is a beautiful hotel, very caring staff, double room was spacious with lots of storage and hanging facility if you were staying for more than 1 night. We were on the ground floor our ensuite had the shower option of overhead or normal shower attachment. Lovely white bath sheet and hand towel each with bath mat. Very clean throughout. The breakfast buffet for an English was plentiful, juice, yogurts, cereal, toast, tea and coffee and all cooked very well. They offer an evening meal but we we did not take up this option this time. I would highly recommend and made my husbands night as he took his telescope into the Abbey grounds.

ROSEMARY
Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The room had everything that it needed. The surroundings were so green and peaceful. The only small downside was that the mattress and pillows were very firm and thus less comfortable than I'd have liked.

Patricia
Excellent accommodation and breakfast
We really enjoyed our stay at Northgate House. Our room was spacious, well-appointed and had everything we needed and a comfortable bed. There were toiletries each day, tea, coffee and biscuits replenished daily. The bathroom was spacious and the shower lovely. One tiny thing - the loo seat was loose.
The hotel sits in the grounds of Buckfast Abbey and we were fortunate to walk around the gardens in the evening when no one else was there, so lovely and peaceful.
The breakfast each day was really good, with plenty of choice.
The staff are excellent, polite and attentive.
We would definitely stay there again and can't recommend it highly enough.

Great staff, excellent food and well priced. Only negative being the beds mattress wasn't the best.
Peter
A quiet, nice sized hotel, neither too big nor too small, with a light and airy dining room/breakfast room and a very well designed hotel bedroom with plenty of storage space. There were also areas to sit outside, weather permitting, accessible from within the hotel, both at ground level and first floor level. The hotel was within easy walking distance of where we wanted to be and I would thoroughly recommend as a good place to stay.

Stayed for one night, room was spacious and clean, though it was very warm (even with radiators turned off). Bed was ok but could do with better pillows (one is way too flat, two way too much). Overall it’s a hood place, and might consider stay there again.

The hotel is modern, very comfortable with good sized bedrooms. Everywhere very clean. All the staff very friendly and helpful. Wonderful location next to Buckfast Abbey and you are to to explore its grounds. If you are staying on a Sunday we would recommend the carvery lunch at the Granary. Just off the A38 if you are looking for a stopover en route to Cornwall.

Lovely stay - staff were super friendly and went out of their way to help. The room was spacious and well laid out and the area was so quiet, perfect for a good night’s sleep.

Northgate House - a lovely place to stay
Similar to the service we have experienced on previous stays - always aboslutely immaculate. Room standard, cleanliness, breakfast service, reception...all respects. I think it's great standard for the price, which is reasonable for the sort of luxury and comfort you get. Previously, when we've opted for evening meals, the menus have been delicious and inventive - and the hotel's standards never seemed to waver, even at the height of the covid epidemic (part of what also makes it great is the ambience - peaceful surroundings of the Abbey and its precincts. Personally, having stayed in a monastic environment, it retains that slight 'safe' and spiritual feeling of being on a retreat, too - though without the austerity - e.g. with Christian iconography and interesting historic prints and pictures in each room + photos of the abbey in communal areas.) Keep it up! My grading is 'EXCELLENT'

Lots of places to visit with many close at hand. Staff all very helpful and accomodating and when we had to extend our stay went out of their way to make the necessary arrangements. All in all the hotel and it's staff made in a wonderful break.

A perfect hotel for visiting the family in Devon
This is a very comfortable hotel. It doesn't pretend to be luxurious and that is to its credit as it is not pretentious but open and friendly.
All the rooms were spotlessly clean. The bathroom with its wet room shower worked perfectly and the bed was very comfortable.
Buckfast Abbey was very pleasant to visit, lovely inside.
